Just FYI, officially Canada doesn't have a state religion, but over 50%
of
the population is identified as Roman Catholic.

I agree. The Canadians wouldn't buy into the idea of an official state
religion, at all. But the British do - so who knows. Don't a bunch of
the
senior members of the Church of England have seats in the House of Lords
by
virtue of their Church office? When the NAC is formed, with the
Monarchy
as the official head of state, maybe there would be some kind of
cerimonial
place for the Church of England in the system - but certainly there'd be
no
real power held by the Church. The Americans, Canadians and South
Americans (later) wouldn't like that very much...
